Lawn Care & Mowing FAQ for San Francisco Homeowners

How often should San Francisco homeowners get lawn care & mowing?
Given San Francisco's karl the fog: persistent summer fog from the pacific keeps temperatures at 55–65°f on the west side, most homeowners benefit from lawn care & mowing at least once a year. Year-round fog moisture causing wood rot and paint peeling on west-facing Victorians often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in San Francisco most need lawn care & mowing?
Victorian Painted Ladies and Edwardian flats (most common exterior) and Spanish colonial and stucco in the Sunset and Richmond districts are the most common home types in San Francisco and typically see the most wear. Our local pros are familiar with the exterior materials found across the metro.
How often should my lawn be mowed?
Most lawns need mowing every 7–14 days during the growing season. Fast-growing warm-season grasses like Bermuda may need weekly mowing in summer.
What height should my lawn be mowed?
It depends on your grass type. Cool-season grasses (fescue, bluegrass) thrive at 3–4 inches. Warm-season grasses (Bermuda, zoysia) prefer 1.5–2.5 inches. Never remove more than one-third of the blade at once.
Should I bag or mulch clippings?
Mulching returns nutrients to the soil and is generally preferred. Bagging is better when grass is very tall or when you're dealing with disease or weeds going to seed.
Do you bring your own equipment?
Yes. Our crews arrive with professional-grade mowers, trimmers, and blowers. You don't need to provide anything.
